Olive June Curry Heavens New Angel

It’s hard to put into words what our family is experiencing. My husband and I tried for over 5 years to experience having a child together. May 19, 2023 we got the happy news that life was being created within my womb. We were so happy and excited, the kids were ecstatic and we couldn’t wait to hold that sweet baby in our arms.

Andrew and I went to all of the appointments, I found an amazing OBGYN whose father actually delivered me and my siblings when we were born over 30 plus years ago. Everything was going as planned. Even with outside stresses in life, we kept focusing on growing our sweet baby with unending love. We had a baby shower, shared the gender, and told the world about the coming arrival of Olive June Curry. Something I had been dreaming about since I was a little girl. Every time we did an ultrasound I would be over the moon seeing her face develop, her sisters sang and read to her daily. We were all so thrilled. Dec 28 2023 was her last ultrasound, we were so close. She was 36 weeks, and we just needed to wait for our weekly checkups to see when she was ready to come to this earth. Andrew and I arrived at our 37 week check up in Jan 4 2024. Sat in the office with such anticipation, waiting to hear how much I went up with dilating, if she was ready. When the Dr put his device to my abdomen to check her heartbeat, something felt wrong. That’s when my life changed forever. My husband sat in his chair and looked over at me, and we both knew. My Dr kept trying and went to grab the ultrasound to make sure she was okay. All of her tests have been normal, my bloodwork, nothing indicated illness or injury. So we never anticipated this change. He turned the machine towards me and he uttered. “Oh I am so sorry, there is no cardiac activity”. Our lives have been changed forever. No fairy tale ending. We had to be induced that night. The moments walking from my waiting room, to the car, to the hospital are going to be etched into my memory forever.

Olive June Curry was delivered as a stillborn on Jan 6 2024 at 359am. She was absolutely beautiful. 19 1/2 inches long, 5 lbs 14oz. Red curly hair, deep dark blue eyes. She was our everything, just to be taken away from us. Upon delivery I became violently ill with sepsis and lactic acidosis. Facing death and confusion. My poor husband sat there not knowing what to do or how to handle any of this. We are broken. The children are broken. My family is broken.

I have had to return to the hospital since due to the sepsis still remaining. We are waiting on the autopsy report to figure out why our sweet Olive passed away. She is currently waiting to be cremated at the funeral home next to Baylor Scott and White in Fort Worth. If you know my family, you know why this hospital holds such a strong significance of pain for us.

We never anticipated her death, we never anticipated my illness, we never anticipated any of this. People are calling and texting and asking for updates on when Olive arrives. My kids are barely holding it together, missing school due to uncontrollable tears of heartache. We won’t ever be the same again.

My family is asking for assistance with covering the costs of her memorial, her plot, her cremations, her urn, her gravestone, flowers for her memorial, medical costs, therapy for the family for grievances, and assistance with purchasing mementos for the children to remember their sister by.

If you would like to send a card or flowers we appreciate it, I can provide you with my sisters contact info to where she can handle giving out my mailing address. We ask that anyone who knows my children to please give them space to grieve and to heal. Please allow my husband and I to try and process why all of this happened. We are in complete shock and dont know what to do or what to say. Thank you for respecting us during this time of grief.

Olive June leaves behind her sweet sisters Kirby age 11, Keely age 9, and Kesly age 7. Her mother April Bonham, and father Andrew Curry. She had many loving cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and unending love waiting to embrace her sweet soul.

The family will be having a small memorial for Olive June and will release location of her plot once it’s ready at Greenwood Cemetery in Fort Worth, TX.

We thank you for your love and prayers.

“If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever”
